I have been making handbags out of vintage barkcloth. (I have enough of it to open my own shop, sadly). I started an Artfire shop and all of the proceeds go to my dog rescue, Hazeljane's Blessings. These are a few.

The messengers for 35. and the little shoulder bags for 30. Because of the amount of fabric. And some of the barkcloth is costly. All of them are lined with contemporary quilting cotton, in coordinating colors and/or patterns. And have multiple interior pockets.
